Additionally, the first season of docu-comedy Fool’s Gold (8 x 30 minutes), which already premiered on Discovery Canada, will begin airing on Animal Planet in the U.S. on January 15.

Essential 11 is also in post-production on Made Up (13 x 30 minutes), a hidden camera prank show that will air on Disney Channel and YTV Canada; and is also working on the second season of Fool’s Gold (12 x 30 minutes).
